Applause and Feedback

Thank you, Hannaheyes, it's nice to have written something! I'm glad you like the ending!

I loved all three of these stories. Very hard to choose as they are so different yet all equally good.

Keays: Spooky and creepy. Perfect. 
RosieAnnie: Reflective and maybe a little sad due to the fate of the guys friends. But also a wonderful glimpse of the future. I really enjoyed it.

SheilaUK: What a fun read. I like how Heyes is coming up with any explanation for the bones other than human remains. And Curry's contribution to the marker was priceless.

RosieAnnieUSA: I always enjoy your writing and this one was no exception. It's never easy going back home after a long absence, and the boys really got sucker-punched this time. It's sad to hear that the whole gang got wiped out, but that's what comes of poor planning. I felt bad for Lom, but, unfortunately, when your job is based on votes, sooner or later you're going to be out on your own. But sometimes, bad things (like the fellas not getting their amnesty) can bring about good things.
Of course, I'm thrilled that you let them "retire" to my hometown of Vancouver, BC. I'm sure they'll be very happy there.

Three great stories for this month.  They were perfect for a late night Halloween read for me.

SheilaUK:  The banter between the boys was perfect.  A great fun to read.

Keays:  I loved the eerie mood, even while the Kid did his best to ignore it.  It gave me the shivers.

RosieAnnieUSA:  The story was so atmospheric, melancholy but uplifting in the end.  Perfect story as this year draws to an end.

Rachel74:  Perfect beginning paragraph, setting the mood well.  And I loved the ending.  Both the Kid and Heyes doing what they do best.

UK_Rachel74:  I really liked that.  Liked it being in the first person genre.  Heyes is really lucky he has Kid around to keep his eye on him since he tends to get too involved in the game.

RosieAnnieUSA:  What a gem of a story.  They showed up just in time to lift her spirits.  A very heartfelt reunion.  Loved Heyes' comment, "now you got us", I can't think of getting anything better than them.

UK_Rachel74: Nice! I especially like the reference to Heyes being four steps ahead of everyone else, he doesn't pay attention to what's going on around him. That one line shows how well Curry knows and understands Heyes, and gives us insight to why their partnership is so successful.

RosieAnnieUSA. Poor Clem being let down by her Dad at the last minute, but so glad the guys saved her Christmas. Lovely.

RosieAnnieUSA:  What a great story.  Anticipation, disappointment, and then a satisfying reunion.  Thanks for a nice story to end this interesting year.
